Bartle- ships Between Atlantic and Pacific Cited. “The interchange of some of the :largest battleships in the American . Navy between the Atlantic rnd Pa- "citic fleets through the Panama canal 8hows that the big waterway is func- ; tioning along_the lines laid down for {1t when the United States undertook ‘Ahe tusk of constructing a seaway between the two. Americas,” sivs a bulletin Jjust issued from the Wash- ington headquarters of the National , Geozraphic Society. | “When the work of building the canal was undertaken.” the builetin ,continues. “no one dreamed what a jtremendous amount of material i would have to be moved to make it ta usable waterway such as it is to- day. Excavations Largely Increased. that time it was 0 that i the total excavatlons f canal ! proper " would be 101,000.000 cubic yards. But, by reason of enlarge- | i ments and slides, the t i to grow, until approxim: uar- iter of a billion cubic yards of ma- !terial had to be removed. The rail { Alstance from Union station here to the Pennsylyania terminal, New York, i1s approximately 228 miles. Imagine jinstead of the roadbed a canal with | vertical banks. feet deep and 124 | feet wide—deen and wide enouzh to accommodate the biggest ship that ifioats, and connecting thw =nation’s | i metropolis ~ with the country's cap- {ital, and vou will have a picture of | the amount of materfal that had to ! {be removed to make the great isth- | {mian highway a _completed proje i { “Nor does” this remarkable com- | parison include either the excava- {tions by the French in the canul or those of the Americans for the aux-| iliary port works. coaling stations, etc. These were vast enough to widen ! ithe imaginary Washington-New York | shipway to 154 feet. On the bottom | of this ditch could be laid eleven | standard American railway trac “One can get another plcture of! the Immensity of the task by reflect- | {Ing on the fact that the total spoils i which had to be removed to unite the seus, divide the continents und shorten the " ea lanes of the world at Pan- {ama were equal in volume to more | than 100 pyramids of the dimensions of Cheops, two sugh pyramids for every mile of the big waterway from deep water in_the Atlantic to deep water in the Pacific. | Saving Justifies Construction. | “The saving effected by ships usinz the cahal has more than justified the {hopes of the government in under- taking its construction. In pre-war | days the cost of maintaining a] freighter in commission was approxi- mately 10 cents per net registered ! ton per day. Thus a 10,000-ton steam- ship cost” for maintenance about 11,000 a day. Its average speed was {around 250 knots a day. On the trip from New York to San Francisco there s a saving of thirty-two da. With such a shjp this extra dista lsFould cost, on the basis of pre-war Prices, $33,000. On the basis of pres- ent prices it would cost ahout $50,000. The vessel, by using the canal in pre- jwar days, paying'§1.20 per net regis- tered ton, or $1 . saved its owners {or charterers $21,000. On the basis | of presept-day Pprices the saving amounts to nemy $40,000. If, as is now planned, the coastwise shipping | using the canal is exempted from the payment of tolls, a 10,000-ton steam- er will save $12,000 every time it | pasges through the canal in toll€ and | at least $38,000 in distance eliminated. | $52,000 Less on Single Trip. “While it looks rather high to think of a 15.753-ton ship like the ! Orga paying $18,900 for an eight-hour | trip through the canal, yet to choose | that route between the east and west coasts of the United States over the | Magellan route, would save upward of $52,000 on the trip. ! “Another interesting thing about! the toll rates at Panama is the com- | paratively low rates at which cargo . | moves through the canal. A fiet reg- istered ton in shipping practice is 100 cubic feet of cargo space. Now, | require 0 much room, and that for | some commodities three tons can be put in each net registered ton space. | { For instance, cotton takes much | {more room than nitrates. A cargo of ! the latter has moved through the | canal for 37 cents a ton, while a cargo of lumber might cost a dollar a ton. The average rate for bulk | | cargoes ranges around 67 cents a; long ton. “The rate of $1.20 per net regis- | ship, is no higher when viewed from { the standpoint of cost of operating the canal than when looked at from ! the angle of knot-money saved. Cont $18,000,600 in Interest. “The present income from the canal is arely sufficient to pay the mere costs of operation, with no allowancet! whatever for depreciation or inter- ! est on the investment. As the canal cost $367,000,000, and as the govern- ment has to pay at least 5 per cent| for money borrowed today. it will be seen that interest charged alone would amount to $18.000,000 a year. “In other words, If Uncle Sam operated his canal on the basis that | the railway companies operate their roads, he would have to make a rate of about $3 a net registered ton in- stend of $1.20. “With the tremendous decline in ocean freight rates in the past two years and the large increase in trans- continental raiiroad rates the com- petition of the canal-using steamship lines for transcontinental- freight has hit the railroads a very hard blow. Much tonnage that in pre-war days moven from seaboard to seaboard hy rail is now golng by sea, with the | result that hundreds of freight trains | are moving no more.’ | WOMEN PLAN CAMPAIGN.
